What are some ways I can lose weight?
I want to lose weight, I'm 17, almost 18. I'm 5'6 and weight 116 lbs. Any suggestions? I'm now only eating three small meals a day, will this work or do I need to do something more? Exercise I don't really have time for with school and my job, so I'd prefer not to do that.

3 AnswersOther - Education9 years agoWhat is the difference between a chromatid, and a chromatin?
So, I'm a little confused on what the difference between the two are. They are both the single strands, right? And the chromosome has the two strands connected by the centriome. I thought the chromatid was the identical copy of the chromatin, is this correct? Can someone please clearly explain what exactly is the difference? Thank you! (:
1 AnswerBiology9 years agoDoes this sound like a spider bite?
I was just on vacation with my family at the beach. The house we stayed in did seem to have a lot of spiders in it. And I did notice a jumping spider crawling on my walls, but I didn't kill it, but anyway I slept on the top bunk and on the second to last night there were these itchy small red bumps all over my knees, thighs, shins and the back of my knees. (My sister, who slept on the bottom bunk had nothing.) Once I stopped itching them though, they seemed to fade away, but later the itching would Start again and they would be visible again. My armpits also got itchy, but there weren't any bumps. On the last night, I woke up in the middle of the night and my hands were itching really bad, it felt like they were burning, and it was only itchy in between my fingers and on the top of my hands. I forced myself to stop itching though and it stopped after maybe 5 minutes. Today though, all the bumps are gone on my legs, and they only itched this morning before we left the vacation house, once we left, my legs stopped itching all together, but now I have noticed bumps on the side of my neck. They aren't red, they're just little bumps. I asked my mom and she said it looked like spider bites. I'm home now so hopefully I won't see any more, but does that sound like those are from spiders, or something else? XP
4 AnswersFirst Aid10 years agoConnecting Nintendo DS to Wi-Fi help?
Every time I try to connect to Wi-Fi on my Nintendo Ds, it won't let me. I get the error code 51100. It tells me to make sure I entered the right Wep key and I'm sure I did, the first one on the list with the bubble filled in. I went to the Nintendo support website, and that still did not solve my problem. I even tried taking down the SPI-firewall and it still did not work, as well as installing a program to clear out my registry, but then it said I had to pay for it, so I couldn't use it. In every attempt I have made to connect I have been right next to my router. My router is a netgear WGR614 v8. I have to correct SSID as well. I have it set to 'Auto-obtain IP Adress' and 'Auto-obtain DNS' as well. Should I manually enter all that information, or is that not even the source of the problem? What is wrong? I would prefer not to do any actions that would put my computer (Which is a Mac, idk if that has something to do with it) at risk. Is there any way I can connect to it, or is it just not possible at this point?
2 AnswersVideo & Online Games1 decade agoTwo-variable word problems: Systems of Equations. Please Help!!!?
I have been stuck on this word problem on my math homework forever now, I did all the other ones, but this one really has me confused! I would really appreciate it if someone could explain to me what I have to do to solve it. Here is the problem...
'One number is 16 more than another. If the smaller number is subtracted from two thirds of the larger number, the result is one fourth of the sum of the two numbers. Find the numbers.'
It gives me the answer at the end...the answer to this problem is 8 and 24, but I don't know how to get the answer! I think I have to either use the method of substitution, or elimination...but I can do that, I just don't know how to set up the actual equations, please someone help!! Thanks!!

2 AnswersVideo & Online Games1 decade agoAdobe Illustrator Cs5?
I have been considering whether or not to purchase Adobe Illustrator Cs5. It's really expensive, and the retail price is just about my total sum of money! I really want it, but I'm not sure if I should buy it because it is so expensive. I have never owned an adobe product before so if I got it, this would be my first one which is also why I'm a little weary because I don't really know what to expect from it. I'm not even sure if I need to own Photoshop Cs5 to purchase it, or if you can buy illustrator Cs5 all on its own. If someone could tell me that, that would be great. Also, I found a few websites that sell them for cheaper prices. Amazon being one of them, which I trust the most, but what about this one?
http://www.baselinesoftware.com/illustrator-cs5-wi...
It says something about it being the same thing as the retail version, just having education edition printed on the box. I don't understand why it would be cheaper if it is the same thing...but if someone could look at that and tell me whether or not that is a good place to get it from, or what exactly it means that would really help me out! Serious answers please, and if you have experience with this, or any other photoshop product, let me know if it's worth it to buy it or not!
1 AnswerSoftware1 decade agoWhat fruits and Vegetables can Goldfish eat?
I would like to know some fruits and vegetables I'd be able to feed my black moor Goldfish. They are perfectly fine, but I thought feeding them vegetables would be even better for them! :) So, I am looking for an accurate list of some fruits/vegetables I'd be able to feed them. Including how often I should feed each vegetable/fruit to them would be even better, and help you out with getting that best answer! *hint hint* Knowing how to prepare each item would be great to know as well!

5 AnswersFish1 decade agoDid I sprain my knee?
So, in gym class today we were playing indoor softball, and I was running for home plate, and I didn't stop in time and I smashed my knee into the wall then landed on it, in a bent position. Haha, that was sort of embarrassing! But, anyways, I couldn't unbend it at first, but then after a minute I was able to unbend it. That was in the beginning of the day. I got through the school day ok, I was limping, but, it wasn't that bad. It started to hurt more at the end of the day, and now it is sort of swollen. I can put some weight on it but for some reason I feel like it's sort of getting worse. But the thing that hurts most is when I have to actually lift my leg, like to go up stairs, or sit down, or stand up. Bending it is ok, it hurts a little, but not as much as when I raise my leg up. I can bend it but not that far. I don't really think I have to worry about it, it'll probably heal in a couple days or so, but I just wanted to be sure!
3 AnswersInjuries1 decade agoWhat does it mean when my Goldfish does this?
This is sort of hard to explain but, my goldfish was flapping/moving his dorsal fin up and down really quickly. What does that mean, is he happy, scared, sad, I don't know! I just changed his water if that has anything to do with it.
2 AnswersFish1 decade agoWhat are some good reasons to get a second dog?
Ok, I'm in middle school, and my sister and I want to save a dog from a rescue shelter. We already have one dog, he is a German shepherd. We talked to my dad about it, and he is fine with getting another dog, but only if my mom wants to as well. And there's the problem, my mom does not want another dog. Now I know, I know, her house, her rules! I am perfectly aware of that, but I at least want to try and convince her! My sister and I have already written a book about all the reasons as to why it would be good to get another dog. So I am perfectly aware of the pros and cons of having two dogs, but I just want to see what other people can come up with for some extra ideas to throw into our book to really make her think! We have both done weeks of research. We both take care of the dog we have right now very well, and he is fine with other dogs as long as they are not high energy, but we would get a low energy dog. So, if you have any ideas on what I could say to her to convince her, or anything else that could help at all, please tell me! I only want answers that will respond to my question, no stuff like 'what you mom says goes, so you shouldn’t even be trying to convince her anymore!' I want to try, and I will respect her decision either way in the end if she still does not wish to have another dog.
8 AnswersDogs1 decade agoCotton thing on goldfish?
Ok, I have a small black moor goldfish, and I noticed this cotton like growth thing near his dorsal fin. It's white, and he has had it for about two weeks now. It doesn't really seem to be affecting him that much, he still swims around and eats, and occasionally just floats around, but other than that I can see nothing wrong with him. It looks sort of like a fungus to me, I am going to change his water tonight, and I was wondering if I could just carefully scrape it off with a cotton swab or something. Serious answers please.

2 AnswersHomework Help1 decade agoWho should I do my child report on?
Ok so I have to do this report on a little child on the ages of 0-8 and we have to study them to see how they are. I cant decide if I want to do it on my little cousins Brian, Nathan, or Coleman. Brian is really really really bad, he is 4 years old and he has already been suspended from preschool for hurting another kid. He throws temper tantrums, hits, and uses foul language. He likes things his way. Like I said he is very very bad and hes only 4. Nathan is almost the complete opposite. He is a very sweet baby, he is 2 years old. He had a cleft pallate when he was born and he will have to be going through surgery until he is 7 Years old to have it completely fixed. He loves to give hugs, he is always smiling and he is very polite.He Always likes to see others happy and almost never complains. Coleman is like right in the middle of them hes sort of bad, sort of good. He likes to play games he can sometimes trow temper tantrums but generally he is a good kid. He is 3 years old. I am really having a hard time choosing which of my cousins to do the project on, please give me your opinions on who you think I should do, it would really help me out! Serious answers though please.
